Chapter 173 Chapter 173 - Lucius?
Aiden completely ignored that Melinda was watching him while he was doing his trial, but even if he had known. He wouldn't have acted differently for the most part.
Well, maybe he wouldn't have had sex with Wu Lan, but that was only a small detail. Apart from that, he would have done the exact same.
'I'll try to kill him as fast as possible,' thought Aiden as he headed to what seemed like the biggest building in the Plum Blossom Sect.
It made sense in Aiden's mind, that the strongest person would reside in the biggest building. Because those who were the strongest would usually have all the advantages.
He was also following Wu Lan's orders which was to kill their Sect Leader and that was what he would do.
After flying in the direction of the biggest building of their Sect, he landed right in front of it admiring it a little as he really was massive.
Aiden could only barely see the sides of that house because of how large it was. Back in Li Feng's Sect, Aiden had to admit that his house was also massive, however, it lacked a little when comparing it with this.
Also, the house was well decorated and showed the wealth of their Sect Leader as Aiden could see many precious gems on the massive wall in front of him.
However, that wasn't the most impressive part, the entrance was as there were two statues of what seemed to be lions on both sides of the main door.
Seeing that door, Aiden simply walked toward it and opened it as there was once again no surveillance around it.
Aiden noticed that and thought that it was weird, but he simply didn't think that much of it.
'Maybe he likes his privacy?' thought Aiden as he continued to walk forward into the building.
Entering it, Aiden recognized almost his room as there was a throne inside with nothing else inside it.
Only a throne and one long red carpet which made it all the way to that throne.
'Where is that guy?' thought Aiden as he started looking left and right in hopes of finding their Sect Leader.
Aiden knew that by killing him, victory would be pretty much assured.
Because killing the strongest would lower everyone's morale, that was just a plain fact and Aiden knew it very well.
Then, as he kept walking around in hopes of finding their Sect Leader, he reached the throne and started to look around it.
As he got behind the throne, he seemed to spot someone quite a few meters away from him, sitting on the ground and looking at the ground, not minding his surroundings at all.
Aiden seeing this for the first time found it weird, not sure who that person was.
'Is this their Sect Leader?' thought Aiden, as he got closer little by little.
While he got closer, he noticed that the person still hadn't looked toward him yet, and Aiden was also sure of something this person was clearly awake and he wasn't sleeping at all.
Aiden who thought that was his opportunity to kill that person who was sitting on the ground like that, immediately dashed toward that person with only one single goal in his mind, killing that man.
Funnily enough, the more Aiden looked at that person the more it made him think of Lucius and his behaviour back in the Arena as he had always looked down on no matter the situation.
'Probably a coincidence,' thought Aiden as he arrived right beside that man, preparing his strike which would be as usual aimed at the neck of that person.
However, when Aiden was about to kill him, he heard a voice from behind him.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Aiden confused looked downwards, where he couldn't see the Sect Leader anymore.
'Wait, how did he move so fast?' thought Aiden as he hadn't caught view of how he had gotten behind him.
***
Melinda who was watching Aiden enter this massive building wasn't worried in the slightest as she knew that Aiden's strength was ridiculous now having access to Qi, she knew that whoever he would be facing, it would surely win.
There was literally no doubt in her mind.
Watching him search for somebody, Melinda patiently waited as she was impatient to see him fight again, especially in the body of someone that strong.
She wondered how he would use those physical capabilities to help him.
Then, Aiden had now arrived around the throne and started looking around it.
'Just where is that person? Fucking fight, I'm tired of waiting,' thought Melinda as she just couldn't wait to see him fight once again.
She wanted to see how he would use the new energy which he had access to, Qi.
She wondered if he was going to be able to use it as well as that mercenary.
It was honestly a stupid thought coming from her, especially since the mercenary had trained years to fight with Qi, and Aiden had only recently gotten access to it.
Obviously, he wasn't going to be as strong, it would make sense if he were.
Then, Melinda continued looking at her crystal ball and she saw that Aiden was approaching someone which wasn't that visible because of how dark it was inside this place.
Melinda caught sight of that person and she saw how weird he was acting, sitting on the ground not caring about his surroundings at all.
'Why does that make me think of him?' she thought.
She knew that someone liked to act like that, always sitting on the ground looking down as if nothing else.
Her confidence which she had all this time about him winning started to vanish little by little as she knew that if that person really was Lucius then the chances of Aiden winning would be slim, extremely slim.
'I got to say, though, he really is unlucky being in the same trial as Lucius,' thought Melinda, now sure that this person was Lucius as she had seen the speed at which he had moved.
